Lost Play

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or play:

    Good-bye, good luck, struck the sun and the moon,
    To the fisherman lost on the land.
    He stands alone at the door of his home,
    With his long-legged heart in his hand.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.”
